I just got a lhasa apso but he is 8 years old and the people who gave him to me cut is hair really short.Will it grow back and how long will it take to grow back
It will grow and grow and grow. He will need regular proessional grooming.
Take a look at the bottom of your Lhasa Apso’s feet. Can you see the pads or are they hidden by the thick hair that grows between them? The hair between the pads of a Lhasa’s feet grows quite long and quite fast. If ignored, that hair will mat. These mats become problematic if the dog gets his feet wet from walking in rain or snow. Left alone, the mats increase in size and may spread the pads further apart until the dog feels pain or discomfort. If the Lhasa is outdoors a lot, burrs, stickers, and bits of gravel can become lodged in the hair between the pads, again resulting in the Lhasa’s discomfort. Ignored, these mats can also lead to hot spots between the pads.
Fortunately, keeping the pads neatly trimmed is an easy task. If you are not showing your Lhasa, you probably will only have to trim the between the pads monthly. Here is what you can do: with the dog on his side or back, hold a leg steady at an angle that is easy for you to work with and comfortable for your dog. The hand that holds the leg will have to do double duty because you’ll need to spread the pads slightly apart so you can trim down between them. If help is available, have another person assist, perhaps by holding the dog’s leg steady (some Lhasas have ticklish feet and will jerk their feet away from you as you touch them).
You may use a small clipper for this task, something the size of a man’s mustache trimmer works nicely. Or you may use a small scissors. If you opt for scissors, be careful not to cut a pad! Have some Gold Bond powder on hand to put between the pads once the trimming is done, in case there is some razor burn from the clipper.
Joyce Johanson has owned, bred, and shown AKC registered Lhasa Apsos since 1973. The Joyslyn’s Lhasa Apso web site contains many resources about the breed.

The Lhasa Apso makes a wonderful pet, sometimes willful and some can be high-spirited but they are all loving and affectionate. Originating from Tibet, this is an ancient breed that was bred for over 2000 years by nobles and holy men and was considered a sacred animal and even used to guard the monasteries and temples. In the Western world, we can thank the Dalai Lama for this furry lapdog since he would often give them as gifts to foreign dignitaries who were visiting his country. The Lhasa Apso was first seen in Britain in the 1920s and made its way to the US by the 1930s.
Part of the American Kennel Club non sporting group, the Lhasa Apso was admitted to the AKC 1935 in the terrier group but then reassigned in 1959. By breed standards the dog weighs 13 and 15 pounds and stands 11 inches tall. Lhasa’s can be rather long lived with some living past 18 years of age.
This breed is characterized by its long coat which drapes over its entire body and hangs onto the floor making the dog look almost like a walking mop! The coat is very straight and heavy and even covers the dogs face as it hangs over the eyes and produces a beard and mustache as well. The Lhasa Apso has dark eyes and feathered ears and tail which should be carried over the dogs back. Most often seen in white, this breed also comes in smoke, slate, gold, cream, black, honey and brown.
The Lhasa Apso is intelligent, lively, friendly and assertive. They can be very devoted and affectionate to their owners but may be suspicious of strangers. Some can be rather willful but others are eager to please their owners and will do whatever they say. They can be a bit high spirited and they have a loud bark which can be rather persistent.
The Lhasa Apso is a healthy breed in general but might suffer from skin problems if their coat is not cared for properly. Some may have hip dysplasia in addition to eye problems and kidney problems. Rarely, these dogs may suffer from a bleeding ulcer.
These little dogs are very active indoors but can do well in an apartment as long as they walked regularly and given a chance to play and run. This is not a dog that needs a lot of exercise but every dog does need a walk at least once a day.
Due to the long coat, this breed does need grooming care and will have to have the coat trimmed and stripped. If they are not brush everyday the coat will become quite matted and unruly. The feet can also get matted easily and should be checked daily. This breed can be dry shampooed when necessary and their eyes and ears should be cleaned often. Despite the long code this breed is only an average shedder.

What is the normal tail length for lhasa apso dogs?
My lhasa apso 8months male dog is like 2 inches long. Is this normal? The fur on it and tail itself are not long like the normal lhasa apso dogs on webs and shows. Since I adopted my dog, I’m wondering if his previous owner had cut his tail? I heard people do cut certain dog tails to fit dog shows requirments.
if the end of tail does not look like it has been cut. it could have born that way. have your vet look at it at your next appt and see if he can help you.
Lhasa Apso Training – Important Need to Know Facts!
Hello I’m Ben Parker. I created this site because I love dogs. And believe that it is our job as humans to care for the animals on this planet. But mostly what I see is abuse and neglect. The biggest one that I see is the food we feed our pets. Did you know that most of the food we feed our dogs (or we get from the store) is made of corn.
Dogs can’t digest corn and it has petroliem products in it, as in the same stuff they make gasoline out of. Dogs can live 20 or more years, but they don’t because the food they eat slowly poisions them. Any way sorry to go off on a tangent, I just passionate about taking car of our dogs the right way.
